АРИАНА ГРАНДЕ, ТИМАТИ ШАЛАМЕ, НИНА ДОБРЕВ И ДРУГИЕ ЗНАМЕНИТОСТИ ПРИСОЕДИНИЛИСЬ К АКЦИИ ПРОТЕСТА BLACK LIVES MATTER

В последние несколько дней некоторые звезды принимали участие в общенациональных акциях протеста в поддержку афроамериканского сообщества #BlackLivesMatter. Причиной протестов стала смерть 46-летнего Джорджа Флойда, которая произошла после того, как сотрудник полиции Миннеаполиса прижал мужчину и зажал его шею коленом, в то время как трое других офицеров стояли в стороне и ничего не делали. На видеозаписи, снятой свидетелями, Флойд сказал офицерам, что не может дышать, и через несколько секунд он скончался.

Тысячи людей вышли на улицы Миннеаполиса, выступив с требованием остановить произвол правоохранительных органов и соблюдения гражданских прав каждого человека вне зависимости от цвета кожи, расы и пола. К акциям протеста присоединились и жители других городов: в некоторых штатах (включаю Миннесоту) митинги переросли в массовые беспорядки.

К акции протеста Black Lives Matter («жизни черных имеют значение») присоединились и голливудские звезды в соцсетях. Леброн Джеймс, Ева Лонгория, Ким Кардашьян, Кайли Дженнер, Джастин Бибер, Джиджи Хадид, Зендая, Уилл Смит и другие знаменитости призывают власти обратить внимание на ущемление гражданских прав чернокожих, а также требуют тщательного расследования ВСЕХ преступлений, совершенных офицерами полиции.

It’s become very clear to me that some of you need to see what I’ve seen. Please swipe through this. These pictures and videos don’t even scratch the surface. It’s easy from the comfort of your home to watch looting and rioting on television and condone the violent measures being taken by forces. But what you don’t see is innocent peaceful protestors being shot at and tear gassed and physically assaulted relentlessly. You think it’s not happening, it’s only the “thugs” and the “riots”, right? The police are keeping you safe right? You’re wrong. This is happening everywhere. And innocent people exercising their rights to speech and assembly are facing violence and abuse of power. With all of our medical professionals being CONSUMED and EXHAUSTED with Covid, there is little to no medical attention available. I have first hand treated men women and children who have been shot in the chest, the face, the back. Some will lose vision some have lost fingers. I have been covered in innocent blood. My father is a black man. My mother is an EMT. This week I had to put those two associations together in ways that have horrified me. This is NOT a virtue signaling post. But I HAVE to show you what I am witnessing with my own eyes. With Trump’s decision today to enforce the mobilization of armed forces on our own citizens, this has escalated beyond your privilege and comfort to not care. Please care. We are begging you to care. This is war on Americans. This is everyone’s problem. Everyone’s. #BLACKLIVESMATTER

George Floyd’s murder has sent shockwaves around the world, there are countless others that haven’t. Protests and marches are happening all over the globe simultaneously and only gaining momentum. So be righteously angered but be focused! Keep listening, keep asking and keep learning! It’s important we don’t get disheartened, hijacked or manipulated right now. This is about systematic racism, this is about police violence and it’s about inequality. And this isn’t only about America! Racism is alive and well everywhere. I wholeheartedly stand in solidarity with the fight for freedom, liberation and justice ♥️ #blacklivesmatter #georgefloyd #saytheirnames

Селебрити не только освещают эти ужасные события, но и сами выходят протестовать на улицы из-за гибели Джорджа Флойда. Так, например, Ариана Гранде приняла участие в мирной демонстрации в Беверли-Хиллз, Тимати Шаламе – в Санта-Монике. Акцию поддержали и такие звезды, как Эмили Ратаковски, Ричард Мэдден, Нина Добрев, певица Halsey и другие.

I’m shook. Yesterday was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I witnessed things yesterday afternoon that I’ve only ever seen in movies. I live in the epicenter of West Hollywood where the peaceful protest quickly took a turn. I’m sad it became violent, but the violence didn’t begin yesterday. It’s been present for generations. What happened to George Floyd wasn’t an isolated incident. It’s a systemic problem that is now being filmed. Even if any of you feel as though all you are seeing are posts about the horrendous injustice, it pales in comparison to what the energy felt like being on the streets and there can never be too large of a light shone upon the truth. In my stories I’ve posted ways you can also join the movement. Please speak up, show solidarity, own the injustice. White people (and yes, I’m referring to myself as well) learn something and do something. It’s not enough to just post. Listen. Speak up. Amplify. And don’t stop there. Join the fight against injustice. ❤️
